Wouldn't that be Narky on your bum? ;)

Very true, but I thought I'd offer up the suggestion. :D

If you are looking for something quick and simple there are some pre-hopped Malt can kits, by I believe BrewFerm that I've tried that are really easy, and respectible in flavor. You might check your local brew store. BrewSource.com | Brewferm Malt Extract Kits (Belgium) | home brewing...

That explains it. Born and raised in Nebraska myself. Very nice gift. Enjoy.

Bugeater huh? A Nebraska Native I take it? Very nice looking.

We ended up with about a fifth of an inch of ice, topped by a couple inches of snow. Pretty much all the schools in Omaha are cancelled, not sure about the Univeristy. I kind of hope so. I don't like my Step Daughter having to drive to her final with the streets as messed up as they are...

My wife had to explain to me what SWMBO meant. I don't refer to her that way, I just treat her that way. :-)

Tapir gets my vote

Congrats TeufelBrew. Enjoy.

Nurmey and myself will be feasting with friends and enjoying our Stella Artois clone and and Irish Stout. Having sampled them previously I can only say it's going to be a very Happy Thanksgiving. Happy Holiday everyone.

If you cannot find the items locally that's probably not too bad of a deal. Funny thing about the progression of bottling to kegging. We started out bottling of course and then moved to keg's and Pig's, now we seem to be moving back more towards bottles if only for the sharing factor.

We've done a couple of bourbon ales, and we've used way more that 1 oz of wood chips. We did one in Beam's Choice (it's an inside joke) and the other in Woodford Reserve. The Woodford was incredible, the Beam's Choice was well, let's just say it was unmistakeibly BEAM'S CHOICE, aroma and all.

Welcome tobrew, enjoy your first batch. If you can, make sure you take pictures so you can go back and enjoy them later.

For what it's worth I too recommend waiting for the beer to finnish out fermenting. 5 days just isn't enough time. When first starting out I think we racked too soon (Hadn't learned brewing patience yet) and now that I know how much improved the beer can be by waiting, I highly recommend you...

It wasn't a Hi Jack. A Hi Jack would have been if I started to mention how much the grain prices in the Congo were affecting the Great Pigmy Mouse migration habits. Oh and Hi.

You actually think we have a standard? :D We try to hold to the 3-4 weeks but sometimes it's longer, very seldom is it less.

Probably no worse than the Shocking and horrible things she says about me to my face. :eek: :D

I'm not sure your surpassed me....maybe in recipes...oh okay you did surpass me. :D

Oddly enough it is because of Mr. Beer that I got into the hobby, but not in a way that you might think. My wife knew that I was interested in brewing as a hobby, so we purchased Mr. Beer for Christmas. We never actaully used it, in fact it's still sitting in the box in our basement, but...

While not an expert I will say that I've personally had beers that were extendedly fermenting, both in glass carboy's and Plastic Buckets and both turned out equally well. I do agree however 3-6 weeks is about right, then either rack to a secondary or directly to kegs.
